You know, the Internet hasn’t always been this overflowing cesspool of hate, attention-grabbing and 35-year-olds wearing Yeezys with a straight face. There was a simpler time, a time when the Internet was but a place of gentle information exchange. Sure, even back then you could end up lost in the dark corners of the web, somewhere between recipes for 2C-B home cooking and midget porn. It was, in a strange way, more honest. You didn’t have to go to the deep web to get your fix of the weird stuff because the Internet wasn’t ruled by, like, 3 companies dictating what’s what in the WWW. At any rate, Bronze 56k reminds us of the Internet’s anarchic period that lasted from 1990 until roughly 2003. You can see in Bronze’s overall aesthetic that the people running it have some strange fetish for 90’s web design, which is an inclination you can only have if you’ve shared the experience of the time. Their logo is a blatant rip-off of Microsoft Windows, and “56k” refers to the connection speed of a dial-up modem (please visit your local museum for further information). Anyway, Bronze 56k, those wacky 90s aficionados, sent us their latest collection featuring a bunch of t-shirts and a bunch of 6-panels, all kept in summery colors. Maybe the single best item to drop this year is the Kebab t-shirt inspired by Germany’s most popular snack. If there’s anything we love more than 90s midget porn, it’s Döner drowning in gravy. We’re weird that way. You can buy the latest Bronze 56k stuff both online and at our store in Frankfurt.
